There are currently 195 Countries recognised by the United Nations, and I hope to collect a postcard from each and every one of them. Getting a postcard from certain countries will be difficult I am sure, but I do like a challenge. I am doing this using my Interpals Profile and the Postcrossing website. I hope to have exchanges with lots of people and gain some insight into different cultures and backgrounds.

It is always awesome when I receive a postcard from a new country, this time it is Portugal. The card shows an old tower situated on the river Tagus in Lison, dating back to a time when Portugal was still a monarchy. Thank you Ana! Postcard #30.

This postcard comes from the small industrial town of Kitimat, in British Columbia. Thank you Tam! Since I already have a postcard from Canada, this one is not included in my overall count to 195 cards.

This postcard shows Minsk airport. I’ve never been one to really appreciate airport architecture but this seems pretty nice, a sort of retro futuristic look. The blue water and sky probably help make it look inviting! Thank you Andrew. I already have a postcard from Belarus, this one is not included in my overall count to 195 cards.

Since I usually only show the front of the postcards that I receive I thought it might be nice to show some of the stamps on the cards, as that is part of the fun of getting a new postcard! This only represents a small selection but it features some of the prettier or more interesting stamps.

Russia continues to be the leading provider of my postcard collection, however with postcards as beautiful as this I am certainly not complaining! What stands out most to me on this card is not the front, as nice as that is, but the stamps on the back. This postcard has inspired me to write a blog post all about the various stamps that I have received since starting this hobby, so look out for that! Thank you Olga for the card and the ideas!

Thank you Nina for this lovely postcard, the flowers are called Hepatica and apparently are the first flowers to bloom in Finland. They are pretty but I can’t help but be reminded that I will soon be at the mercy of the pollen and hayfever season! Since I already have a postcard from Finland, this one is not included in my overall count to 195 cards.
